An inscription on a votive monument dedicated to Mithras mentions the station of Lamud. The researches conducted by the Museum of Macedonia in 1978-1980 discovered six cyst graves dated to the 2nd-4th centuries AD. Since 1998-2000, the excavations have been taken over by the Museum of Kumanovo, and 30 more graves have been discovered.
The necropolis was used most intensively during the early imperial period, from the end of the 1st until first half of the 3rd century. Two types of graves with cremation were noticed: rectangular or oval pits and graves with depositions one above the other, marked only with small stones. The dead were cremated on a common pyre, and the ash and unburned bones were scattered throughout the pit. The most frequent grave goods are ceramic vessels: pitchers of Italic origin as well as local products, small vessels with one, two or three handles, bowls and oil lamps. Military bronze fibulae and belt buckles point to the fact that these are the graves of solders in the Roman legions.
The necropolis was also in use during the 3rd and 4th centiuries AD, to when inhumation graves date. There are several different grave types: regular pits covered with stone slabs, cyst graves formed by stone slabs or tegulae, closed with hydrostatic mortar. The usual grave offerings are ceramic vessels (pitchers, small vessels with one or two handles, beakers) glass vessels (phyalai, balsamaria, cups, beakers, and amphoriskoi), jewelry of Eastern workshops (gold and silver finger rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, fibulae, belt buckles, hairpins etc.) and coins.
